Patent attributes
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for generating an artificial neural network architecture based on a synaptic connectivity graph. According to one aspect, there is provided a method comprising: obtaining a synaptic resolution image of at least a portion of a brain of a biological organism; processing the image to identify: (i) a plurality of neurons in the brain, and (ii) a plurality of synaptic connections between pairs of neurons in the brain; generating data defining a graph representing synaptic connectivity between the neurons in the brain; determining an artificial neural network architecture corresponding to the graph representing the synaptic connectivity between the neurons in the brain; and processing a network input using an artificial neural network having the artificial neural network architecture to generate a network output.
